Jennie Brownscombe says Happy Thanksgiving!

Looking thru the web for a good Thanksgiving pic, I discovered Jennie Brownscombe. Those deep artists eyes of hers stopped me cold. Really quite a good painter. I advise checking her out if you're into period pieces. We've already had our Thanksgiving in Canada. But with Global Warming the two countries may eventually sync. Maybe,...

(Jan 18) Here's what I wrote at SoundCloud for this... * * * * * Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech (abridged) set to original soundtrack... my challenge is to use entirely free VST plugins.. so theoretically,...

Dream – Radio – Edit – Sc4

- deleted by user - So here's the 4th mix of Martin Luther King's famous "I have a dream" speech. The drum tracks were proportionally lowered at the quiet places and left the same at the loud places. And the funky little.. dee da dee da dee daaaaaa riff was lowered in places too. Seems...

let freedom reign – take 2

https://soundcloud.com/earthpages/let-freedom-reign-take-2 So, basically the same mix as the first take posted yesterday, but the trance synth level is elevated a bit, and all effects are removed from the drum tracks (well, except for the glitch track, but that will stay). Net result should be a cleaner rhythm track.. I'll probably do one more version with...

the show must go on

I laughed several times today when watching the US news about people "suffering" in the extreme cold. One reporter in NYC was bemoaning the 5º C temperatures. Toronto is colder than that. But it isn't that bad. Lake Ontario moderates our temps... cooler in summer and warmer in winter than many landlocked places of similar...

Updated my 70s playlist at Songza

http://songza.com/listen/sock-it-to-me-70s-earthpages-1/ I haven't had a chance to get out of the city for quite a while and, frankly, it can get boring. The traffic has risen sharply, probably because of the soaring number of condos. Toronto seems to be booming. That's great, but sometimes I miss the old, quiet city, the old days. So last...

Troy Davis – The night the lights went out in Georgia

I'd never heard about Troy Davis until the MSN homepage flashed a story about his upcoming execution. After a while I turned on CNN and saw the full TV coverage. Part of me was hoping that his appeal would be successful. I mean, even if he did kill that man, does another death make anything...
